    Stupid money... being so useful!

    Alright so I got my taxes done, and I'm going to be getting 1000-ish bucks back. To help pay for the taxes overall I'm going to be giving my dad 300. So that leaves me 700-ish bucks to do with whatever.

    This leads me to my current situation. My dad is dead set on everyone putting in 500-700 bucks so we could go on vacation. The problem is that personally I considering just getting an Xbox 360. Since I don't know when another good time I can get it. Plus the way I see it, getting a used 360, and maybe a game or two. This would cost me 450 at worse. Which would leave me 250 for whatever I need for the next couple months.

    One thing about my dad though that makes the decision harder, his the type of person who can be hard to change when his dead set on something. His notorious for guilt tripping anyone who doesn't agree with his idea. So do I just give into what he wants and go on a potentially great five day vacation. Or do I go with what I want and let my dad and brother go where they want.

    well, whatever you do, don't get a used 360. their failure rate is just too damn high to take that risk.

      What vacation are you planning on going to? If it's worth it, I saw go for that.

      However, I'm not really a 360 fan, so my reasoning is a bit biased. You could wait for a price drop, or something.

          I say get the 360, since if that's what you want, I say do it. Your dad will get over it eventually, I'd think.

          But, of course, it also depends on where this vacation is supposed to be. If it's like, Europe or Japan, I'd go. But if it's somewhere like Sheboygan, Wisconsin, I'd pass.

            I say make papa proud and spend it on the vacation.

            That is if you like your family, if you hate them get a 360.

                Why get a 360 when the new model isn't out yet even?

                  Eh, I say go on vacation. If you like your family, spend time with them while you can. After, by the time you get enough money to get an Elite system, the price might drop. MAYBE.

                    I was gonna say get a Wii and go on the vacation but I see from your sig you already have one. Could you get somebody to pay your share of the vacay fund and pay them back later? If not and you have to pick one I'd say go with the vacation. You can eventually get a 360 later but if you don't go on the vacation who knows what fun you'd miss.

                      I say a vacation is nice. I'd choose that if only to see your loved ones. Personally, I would choose that over a 360. I don't get to see my family as much as I want, so I always take the opportunity to visit them whenever I'm able.

                          almost everyone I know has had their 360 die on them and have to be shipped back to microsoft for repairs. if you get a used system, its going to have more play-wear on it than a new system (thus more prone to screwing up), and it won't have microsoft's warantee on it, just the store's.
